USHAKOV, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation, said his country rejected the policy and practice of double standards in the field of human rights. | | | LIONEL JOSPIN, Prime Minister of France, said the presence of a South African Chairman of the Commission this year was highly symbolic of the power and triumph of human rights over apartheid. | | | For Italy's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Patrizia Toia, there was a false dichotomy between the universality of human rights and the equal dignity of all cultures, religions and spiritual orientations. |

| | A Dirty War (in Spanish : Guerra Sucia) is a program of violent repression of rebels and dissidents conducted by government forces, characterized by the use of disappearances, torture, murder, and other covert practices, massive violations of human and civil rights, and often including innocent bystanders among its victims. | | | Because of their anti-communist point of view, when Ronald Reagan assumed the presidency of the United States in 1981, he was quick to reverse former President Jimmy Carter 's condemnation of the regime's record on human rights and to authorize CIA collaboration with the Argentine intelligence service for training and arming the Nicaraguan Contras. | | | The loss of the war led to the resignation of Galtieri on June 17 of the same year and a third (and last) junta was placed in power under a new president, Reynaldo Bignone. |

| | This is the Radicalism, which under the mask of liberty is now annihilating the rights of Catholics in France. | | | A fundamental principle of Liberalism is the proposition: "It is contrary to the natural, innate, and inalienable right and liberty and dignity of man, to subject himself to an authority, the root, rule, measure, and sanction of which is not in himself". | | | This kind of bourgeois Liberalism enjoyed its highest favour in France during the time of the citizen-king, Louis-Philippe (1830-40), who openly avowed his dependence upon it. |
